Sanford’s Wood Panel from original shipping crate

Sanford’s Wood Panel from original shipping crate.  Wood panel measures 18 x 5.75 inches and is printed with Sanford’s logo.  It is rough along the lower edge, someone didn’t take the time to remove it carefully from the crate.  None the less, it is rare to find old ink boxes, this one would have dated back to the late 1890s - early 1900s. It’s a heck of a lot less expensive than a fully intact Sanford’s wood shipping crate which runs $100-$200 depending on age and condition and of course if you can find one!  (1 avail)
